Newbie in the UK

Hi Guys,

I've had my '56 3100 since July 2009, it was imported into the UK from Minnesota in 2008.

I've done nothing to the truck except drive it

I'm told it has a C10 clip ? The truck appears to be in good condition and is used as a daily driver

327/T350 with 4:11 gears, great from the lights but a nightmare on the Freeway.

Great Forum you have here, so much information and the Build Up threads are fantastic reading.

Welcome to the forum. That's one sweet ride you've got.

Does your license plate say what I think it does on the bottom?

Nice truck, welcome aboard Mate! The 4:11 gears need a change or at least OD tranny!

Welcome to the forum.

I believe I saw your truck on trifive.com. My username is BAM55 on that site. Once again welcome to the site.

You did, I'm registered there too.

I don't have any immediate plans for the truck, it is very usable as it is, my time is spent on my other Classic American......................'65 Fastback M**tang, which is usable and I've been gathering parts for renewal.

Thanks for the warm welcome Guys.
